Chapter 804: The Spring Had Arrived

Yan Huan opened her eyes and sat up. Have I arrived? She put on her shoes and opened the car door before gently stretching her back. She was still sleepy and she wanted to take a nap again when she returned.

“You’re back.” Old Master Lu pulled a long face when he saw Yan Huan, saying, “Look at you, you’re so thin like a ghost.”

“People like us who work in the entertainment industry must maintain a slim body,” Yan Huan said as she pinched her face. She was getting thinner. Let’s fatten up slowly.

“Get out, get out,” Old Master Lu chased her away loathingly. However, Yan Huan noticed that he seemed relieved. Actually, he was concerned about her. This grandpa never spoke his mind, acting vicious and bad-tempered usually. However, after knowing him for some time, one would notice that he was actually quite adorable.

She carried her luggage and went into her bedroom. Her room had been cleaned and the quilt had been changed to a new one. There was even a bouquet of flowers on the table.

She walked over and lifted the vase before hugging it in her arms. Then, she gave it a sniff. It was quite aromatic and the lingering smell was pleasantly fragrant.

She put down the vase and laid down on the bed as she was completely exhausted, without taking a bath. It was as if she had a dream, but she had forgotten what the dream was.

When she opened her eyes again, it was already evening.

When she came out, Old Master Lu was reading the newspaper and the dishes on the table were left untouched.

She came hurriedly as her stomach was rumbling loudly.

However, when she was just about to eat, Old Master Lu gave her a stare, so she had to put down her chopsticks.

“Drink that first,” Old Master Lu said as he pointed at the big… bowl on the table. To be precise, it was more like a basin.

Yan Huan lifted the lid and found a bowl, more accurately, a basin of soup, inside. There were chicken, corn, and red dates in it. She drank this soup before, it was nouris.h.i.+ng for blood in the body. Lu Yi used to stew it for her all the time, especially after her menstrual periods.

She had always been mildly anemic, but it worsened in the past few years. Her body was healthy originally. After donating blood to Lu Yi for a few times, her body became worse in recent years.

She had not even recovered yet, but things kept on happening to her. Now, it would not be as easy to recover her physical state. Even if she wanted to, it might take her a few years to do it.

Yan Huan ladled a bowl of soup and took a few sips. It tasted delicious, lightly imbued with the mild sweetness of red dates. Of course, she knew that red dates could help improve anemia.

She drank a bowl of soup and was going to begin eating the rice, when she noticed that Old Master Lu was squinting at her and muttered, “Finish it.”

The ladle in Yan Huan’s hand dropped onto the table.

“Grandfather, I have to finish all of it?”

“Who else, if it isn’t you?” Old Master Lu rolled his eyes at Yan Huan.

“This isn’t drinking soup. It’s more like feeding a thirsty donkey.” Yan Huan ladled one bowl of soup for herself.

“Then, you’ll be a donkey.” Old Master Lu put on his gla.s.ses for presbyopia and begin reading the newspapers. However, Yan Huan may not realize that he would steal a glimpse at her from time to time.

She could finish that ‘basin’ of soup after drinking three bowls of soup consecutively, causing her belly to be completely bloated. However, she was too full to eat anything else after that.

In the end, she forced herself to eat something. Otherwise, she would become hungry in a while and would have to secretly eat snacks in the house. Old Master Lu was very strict, eating and sleeping at a specific time, as he had always been very rigorous. Although it was not as harsh as the military, waking up for morning salute or folding the quilt in a perfect square, he would ask her to sleep on time and have meals regularly. If she did not eat now, she would have to eat snacks later.

After the meal, she took a stroll on the farm, wanting to check if there were weeds on the farm. When she arrived, she did not find much of them. A few farmers had tended farm perfectly and no longer needed the extra help from her.

She simply came here to weed the farmland and do some menial tasks. However, by doing something every day, it actually made her forget the other unnecessary things in life, helping her body gradually recover.

She stood up and washed her hands at the poolside, preparing to go back.

When she reached the living room, she heard people talking inside. Thus, she did not want to go in. Perhaps, it was Old Master Lu’s visitor and it would be rude for her to eavesdrop on them. Furthermore, she did not know these elders and she was honestly still scared as it would be very difficult to mix in with them. After all, their tempers were similar to Old Master Lu’s, it would be difficult to handle all of them.

As she was about to leave, Old Master Lu’s voice suddenly rang loudly. Look, his voice is so loud that even I can hear it.

“I’ve asked you not to come here.”

“Grandpa, I’m your grandson.”

Lu Yi pursed his thin lips tightly.

“I prefer to have a granddaughter.” Old Master Lu grunted, “Look at what you’ve done. What’s the difference between you and Lu Qin? At least Lu Qin has a purpose and he’s doing it for Su Muran. What’s yours?”

“Get out and don’t come back here. Just stay wherever you want, but not at my place where the girl can see you. It took a long time and a great effort for her to be fair and chubby now. She also doesn’t go running around anymore. Can you please let her be alone peacefully?”

Yan Huan looked at her slender arms and legs.

Am I fair and chubby?

Was she? How did she not know about it? She had never been fair and chubby in her entire life. Her mother told her that she was less than three kilograms when she was born. Other children were fair, chubby, and adorable. However, she had always been dark and thin. In the past, people said that her mother had given birth to an ugly kid. However, no matter how ugly she was, she was still her mother’s dearest baby in her heart.

No matter how much rice she had eaten, she would not become fat. She was thin and small since young. Of course, she was also very dark. However, she changed after she had grown up. At that time, people no longer considered plump as beautiful anymore. Instead, they preferred the traditional type of slender beauty. She was very grateful to live in an era with this kind of aesthetic views. Otherwise, she would be unwanted by everyone if she was in the Tang Dynasty.

After all, who would want a thin and ugly girl?

The voices were still echoing from inside but she did not want to listen anymore.

She knew that the person inside was Lu Yi. However, why did he come to look for her? They had divorced. After that, they should go their separate ways. She was fine right now and she believed that he was fine as well.

She returned to the farm and found a spot for her to sit down. Then, she lay down on the gra.s.s, observing the light blue sky as the gentle breeze brushed against her face. For the first time in a while, she felt some warmth.

So, the spring had actually arrived.
